Memphis at Golden State

Premium Pick

Some fans were impressed how well the young New Orleans team played against the mighty Warriors, but in the end look at the numbers: Golden State swept, including a 109-98 game four win (and cover) on the road. Then they trashed Memphis in game one 101-86. This Golden State team is for real, with star power, the league MVP and a slew of talented, athletic role players. Golden State was #1 in the NBA in scoring (110 points per game), field goal shooting and three-point shooting (.398%). The Warriors are 19-6-2 ATS at home against a team with a winning road record, as well as 9-4-1 OVER the total at home. Memphis is along way from home, and are  just 2-5-1 ATS when playing on one day of rest. Golden State will get up early again and force Memphis to run, which they don't want to do. The favorite is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings, so grab home court in a high-scoring battle. Play Golden State and the OVER.
